Low Taxes.

Low Taxes.
The action of the magistrates on Mon
day in the reduction of the tax from 80
cents TO so cents will no doubt meet with
general approval. 1t is certainly proof
positive that the county authorities are
sincere in their purposes of economy.
They have also proved their honesty
and business capacity, taxation being
faithfully collected and faithfully dispos
ed Of And it may also be added that
in the disposition of the funds collected,
more substantial good has been effected
than in any county in the State. Bun
Combe county stands pre-eminent in the
South for the number and excellence Of
its iron bridges. We wish we could say
as much for the public roads. Buncombe
is much behind Pennsylvania. And this
leads us to say tLat a low tax is not al
ways the part of wisdom or true tcono-
my. Buncombo county with an assessed
valuation of property of nearly $4,000, 900
| (Which is much below the real value) is
undew obligations to do much more than
she has done for the enhancement of
the prosperity of its people. and for the
encouragement to farther additions to
Investments and population. A low
taxed people are not always the most
prosperous. A :highly-taxed peo-
pie, like those of New York, who pay
five times as much tax as those of North
Carolina, show more than five times a
proportionate amount of prosperity.
Their taxation enables them to make
libar,l and proper provision for educa-
ton, for health, for public.conveniences
and the outlay in the end returns u ten
fold increase.
We have no complaint, however, to
make of the present levy ,rFhich is prob
ably as high as the present scarcity Of
money will Justify. Whom the people
learn to utilize all their resources, they
will come to regard tax of so cents as q
very frivolous matte.

ure IN racing on the sea, and truth compels
the admission that the Thistle seems put mn
TO get there" She looks the thorough racer.
and even in the motionless picture she seems
to ride the waves as q swift bird cleayes tbe
air. She is 139 ton vessel, of modified
type the British call clipper cutter; her water
line length is IS feet, beam 2O.3, and depth
LEI. She has good stem and contour: her
mast is set unusually far forward. and her
boom extends S415 feet from the mast, or Az

Hover 1t appears, therefore, that she car.

extremely liberal measures for Ireland. The
younger division of this party is officially
recognized by the appointment of Col King
Harman as under secretary; the Conserva-
tives. of course, think the appointment emil
nently fitting, while the radical Home Rulers
denounce him as TRAITOR" etc.
The appointee is son of Hon. Laurence
King -Harman, was born in 1888, educated at
Eton college and married in 1861 to Emma
Frances, daughter of Sir William Worsley.
he holds many honorary titles and some
active offices in Ireland, being lord lieutenant
and custos rotutorum of County Roscommon,
honorary colonel in the Connaught Rangers,
Justice of the peace for three counties las the
Irish law custom iS and privy councillor for
Ireland. All the same he is now a member
OF parliament representing the Isle of Thanet,
division of "he English county Of Kent-a
rather odd representation to Americans,
who are not familiar with the custom Of
choosing member to represent some other
district from that in which he lives, though
as matter of strict law the constitution
allows 1t. As the office Of under secretary
has no salary attached, Col Harman can still
mold his seat as member of parliament. In
ms Office his duties will be advisory to great
extent, and as he will naturally have much
power IN determining the Tory policy for his
section of ireland, his political history and the
bent OF his mind are of some Importance.
In his boyhood and school days the great
Daniel OConnells influence nodded the |
patriot opinion of Ireland, and it was all for |
repeal"-that is, for repeal of the action of |
l'J9-loOO, which destroyed the Irish parlia-
ment. A little later this movement took on
1ther features and the party took the name of
Home Rulers, but the rebellion of 1S4S and
he subsequent troubles tpostponed all politi-
al reform for while. In 1S52-54 the party
II young Ireland" arose to agitate for a
peaceful reform and restoration of home rule.
his party had wonderful success at the cleo
Ions, but was ruined beyond hope by the
reachery of several of its chosen leaders and
ne lmpetuosity Of Others. With these liberal
lovements the King Harmails sympathized.
nd when Hon. Isaac Butt organized the
Home Rule League" the present under secre-
aly was among his most enthusiastic SUD-
orters In 1874 this party swept Ireland at
le elections Sixty noblemen and gentle
len were elected there pledged to home rule
nd twenty-eight in England. Premier Dis
iell followed the election by warning" the
atlonal journal in Dublin, whereupon Mr..
haw moved and Col. King Harman sec
lded resolution for an inquiry into the
'me rule subject. Soon after however, his
al was observed to cool, and in 1878 Mr.
israeli appointed him lord lieutenant of
)unty Roscommon, to the amazement of all
servers, and soon after his change Of par
IS was complete.

Tho British Islands

The British islands contain in round
numbers 121, ,00G square miles and S7.OOO.-
600 people; but the British empire, if we in
clude feudatory states, covers one-seventh of
the land surface of the globe and contains
more than one-sixth of mankind-9,0 900, 900
square miles and 270000,0OO people. 1t in
cludes about 400 islands and the mainlands of
Canada, Australia, India and South Africa.
This is the greatest political aggregation that
ever existed on this earth. The Roman em.
pire, which ranks next, at its greatest had
not quite one-fifth the land or one-half the
number of people. London, the capital and
metropolis of the whole, has
600, 900 people within its registration limits;
add the adjacent suburban towns and the
population of the metropolis is at least 6.OOO,-
BOO. At the head Of this colossal power is

lrina Guelph, queen Of Great Britain and
Ireland and Empress Of India.

wanted: Adjustable Glass Eyes.

One OF the most serious defects Of the glass
eye IS its single barrelled expression. To a
person OF sensitive nature this is an appalling
obstacle, and the man who can invent an eve
that works on the sane plan as a seven shot
revolver has millions within his grasp. Just
imagine what revolution such an invention
would create. By simple twitch of the eve
lld the proud owner of a revolving eye could
turn on any kind of emotion he desired. This
invention would make the glass eye perpet-
ual Joy. If the proprietor happened to be at
funeral how easy it would be to cast gloom
over the whole countenance by twitching the
lid and letting the eye revolve around to
station b M.-"sadness and MELANCHOLY So
on through the whole list of emotions. If it
was desired to paralyze book agent the
panorama would move around to the plate
with the cold, steely glare" This could also
DE used with good effect at church fairs. So
The eye with the soothing, persuasive ex-
preston" would be such cony yenience when
one came home late from the lodge. And so
on But, alas. the revolving eve has not
been invented and the dainty esthete who
wishes to throw his soul into his gaze must
either carry an assorted collection in his
pocket or only let his emotion flow out of one
